Apart from supplying LiveChat, the company also offers a number of training opportunities as an additional service. According to Latour, they currently offer two kinds of trainings: standard instruction to use LiveChat which tackles the technical aspect of using the app and a training with instructions about how to communicate that allows agents to develop their soft skills. The additional training services provide extra revenue on top of the commission they earn from marketing LiveChat.
When it comes to commission, Latour stated that it is a great "stimulation to sell."
The company plans to expand their portfolio of customers as well as the number of companies using their own product "Online booking accommodations."
